“Disruptive Innovation”

Bill McDermott, co-chief executive officer of software giant SAP, told the February 6 meeting of the Chief Executives’ Club of Boston that large organizations should simplify the delivery of technology in order to move forward. Like SAP, companies should look to Millennials—the “next great generation”—as a key to growth, he said. McDermott also spoke about opportunities for real-time computing in industries ranging from health care to professional sports and about information security. Joseph Tucci, chairman and chief executive officer of EMC Corporation, introduced McDermott.
